Stringently self-critical, Brahms frequently revised his works; unfortunately, he destroyed most early versions, shutting off any glimpse into his working methods. (The B-major Piano Trio's first version survives, having been published long before he re-wrote it.) The works recorded here are among the exceptions; clearly, Brahms held them in unusually high regard. Both are better known in their later incarnations, and not without reason: the orchestral Haydn Variations glow and sparkle with a myriad colors, and the Sonata (originally a string quintet, quickly discarded) naturally gained expressive depth and breadth along with contrast of sound and texture when transformed into the famous Piano Quintet. But the music is great, and so is this performance: full of sweep, grandeur, warmth, fire, inwardness, romanticism without excess, flexibility without distortion, and ardor without sentimentality.
